iMovie '08 update

Back



This week's Macworld Video addresses the new features in Apple's recent iMovie '08 7.1 update. Unlike most iLife updates, which are all about bug fixes, this update adds some nice new functionality to iMovie '08. It's a controversial product, this iMovie '08, largely because it's a brand-new product that is lacking many of the features of its predecessor, iMovie HD. However, leaving aside the controversy over Apple's decision to kill iMovie HD, iMovie '08 is very good at what it was designed to do: let users cut down their videos quickly and then share them with their friends and family. If you're someone with a giant pile of home videos just sitting around unedited, iMovie '08 is meant for you.

iMovie 08 is more complicatet (not really, but you can't order your clips and music so exactly) and has less effects than HD, its a step back for apple...

Easy.. just select the "Transition" tab... And they are your effect.. Also.. you can add overall effect presets when you export your movie.

IMovie '08 SUCKS!!! It has no effects at all and is needlessly complicated. It gives you a headache!!!!

Cmon, the effects from HD 6 sucked too. You could barely control them.. You cant control when the fairy dust comes, complicated to put the letterbox on... I dont think they soulda been removed, but lets face it, for cuttin and general editing, this iMovie is MUCH better,

I was planning to upgrade my imovie 06 to 08 but after watching some reviews I think its wise to keep the 06.
